Fisherman jumps overboard to release a shark

Regardless of how you feel about catch-and-release shark fishing, you have to respect this angler's commitment to the latter part of the sport.
After reeling in a 300-pound bull shark, fishermen with Gasparilla Big Game, a charter service in Gasparilla, Florida., removed the hook from the shark's mouth and released it back to the ocean.
When it failed to swim away immediately, a courageous fisherman jumped into the water to help revive it. Meanwhile, a less-brave soul captured it all on video and uploaded it to YouTube.
"He could just turn around and destroy you," cautions an onlooker behind the camera as the man goes about his risky work.
After a gentle push forward, however, the shark regains its composure and swims off.
Another bystander exclaims, "Now THAT`S
catch-and-release!"
